Small heavy duty castors

Small heavy duty castors: high capacity, compact size

Small heavy duty castors may be small in size, but don’t be fooled! They offer the strength you need to move heavy loads even in tight spaces. Whether it’s a workstation, trolley, or another mobile structure, these castors allow you to manoeuvre easily through narrow corridors without sacrificing stability. Small wheels, big strength — that’s exactly what you can expect from these castors.

Small heavy duty castors: compact yet powerful

Imagine needing to move a heavy object through a busy workshop or a narrow warehouse. No problem for small heavy duty castors! Thanks to their high load capacity and manoeuvrability, they ensure smooth operation without compromising stability. With mini heavy duty castors for mobile workstations or swivel heavy duty castors for turning in tight spaces, you’ll get the job done faster than expected.

• High load capacity in a compact design: ideal for heavy workstations or mobile storage units. We offer small heavy duty castors in 50, 65 and 75 mm diameters with load capacities up to 600 kg.
• Flexible mounting options: top plate or central hole, suitable for your project.

Applications of small heavy duty castors

The uses for small heavy duty castors are nearly endless. Want to build a mobile workstation, move roll containers, or transport heavy furniture? These castors are the perfect choice. They’re excellent for moving heavy objects even on slightly uneven floors. Using swivel heavy duty castors provides maximum manoeuvrability, even in confined spaces. Working with limited height? Low-profile castors are ideal when space between the floor and object is minimal. Need to move even heavier items? Discover our full range of heavy duty castors.

What to consider when choosing small heavy duty castors

When selecting small heavy duty castors, it’s important to make sure they match your project’s requirements. Keep the following factors in mind:

• Load capacity: calculate the total weight and choose a castor that can safely support it (see calculation below).
• Material: small heavy duty castors available at LogiHub are made exclusively from nylon. This material is strong, wear-resistant, and rolls smoothly on flat surfaces — ideal for compact applications.
• Stability: do you need braked castors for added safety and stability?

How to calculate load capacity per castor

It’s simple: divide the total weight of your mobile workstation, container, or trolley (including the load) by three. This gives you a safety margin, as on uneven floors one castor might lift off the ground while the other three bear the full weight. This prevents overloading and ensures safe and stable operation.

Frequently asked questions about small heavy duty castors

Can small heavy duty castors handle thresholds, joints, or uneven floors?

Small heavy duty castors can handle minor height differences but are less suitable for very rough surfaces. Because of their smaller diameter, irregularities — such as thresholds or joints — are felt more easily than with larger castors. For uneven floors, elastic rubber wheels are often a better option as they provide more cushioning, absorb shocks, and ensure smoother, quieter rolling.

What is the difference between swivel and fixed castors?

Swivel castors can rotate 360°, making them ideal for manoeuvring in tight spaces. Fixed castors, on the other hand, can only move forward and backward, offering greater stability in straight lines. In practice, a combination of two fixed and two swivel castors is often used to achieve the perfect balance between stability and manoeuvrability.

Are small heavy duty castors available with brakes?

Yes, small heavy duty castors with braking functions are available. These provide extra safety and stability, especially when the object needs to remain stationary.
